Chapter3

 

Kagome glanced up from her desk and demurely shook her head in the affirmative. “Yes Mr. Tanigaya?” She fidgeted with the hemline of her skirt. `Maybe I should just run out, no, he would catch me before I got to the door. Damn Kagome, you always get yourself in trouble, with a demon no less.' Sesshomaru watched Kagome have a not so polite conversation with herself, he was beginning to get amused but knew his time was short before his next class began. He cleared his throat to get her attention. “Now that I have your attention Ms. Higurashi I would like to go over some things with you. Although we both know each other from a long time ago, I would prefer that you only call me by my proper title while in class. Please do not fidget so either, it's not like I'm going to kill you or anything.”

 

Kagome immediately stopped playing with her skirt and shot her head up. “How in the hell do I know that you sick bastard?! You tried to kill Inuyasha and me more times than I can count. Do you just expect me to be all buddy buddy with you because you're my teacher now? Well no way! It isn't going happen.” With her last statement Kagome ground her left foot into the ground and took her stance. If she was going to go down, then she would go down fighting. Two seconds later she was gasping for air and gripping the clawed hand around her neck. “Do not think to defy me woman. I may not kill you now, but that does not mean I will not inflict some damage to your puny body,” hissed Sesshomaru. He hadn't known what had happened. One moment he was listening to her erratic heartbeat when his demon blood had begun to boil at the mention of Inuyasha. Red had seeped into his eyes and he felt he was on the verge of tearing her limb from limb. He had barely reigned in his beast when she took on a defensive stance, and he snapped. Grabbing her by the throat he slammed her against the wall in the back of his classroom, he was only inches from her face. “Let me go you bastard!” Kagome rasped out, hardly able to breath.

 

Sesshomaru unceremoniously dropped her to the ground and growled. Kagome rubbed her abused flesh around her neck and her bottom. `Great I'll have a bruise tomorrow. Not like he cares though, arrogant bastard' Kagome seethed at him and started to pick herself up. She didn't care about the past anymore, apparently five hundred years hadn't changed him at all. All she wanted to do was to get out, to get away from him. It wasn't just that he had hurt her or threatened her, he brought back the memories she had suppressed for so long, something she didn't need. She watched him turn around and walk back to his desk. “Is there anything else you need Mr. Tanigaya?” Kagome ground out. “No, that will be all for today Ms. Higurashi.” Kagome made her way to the door, a tear slipping down her face. `No, I won't do this here, I just need to get home. Damn you legs, walk faster'

 

Sesshomaru watched her stalk towards the door and caught a faint smell. It was her tears, she was crying. `You made her cry you idiot. Why did I get so aggressive with her? Because it's in your nature, you're a demon. She'll never want to be around you again, you idiot! You scared her away.'

 

“Sumimasen” He whispered quietly, he didn't think she had heard him and he was right. Later, he would tell her again. Maybe then she would listen to him.

 

As Kagome walked out the door she heard a faint whisper, but couldn't quite make out what it was. She just shrugged her shoulders and continued home, there was no need for her to stay here any longer, and she needed to clam herself down. `A nice hot bath is what I need.' And with that last thought she walked home.

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

Later that night, Kagome was reflecting on what had happened between her and Sesshomaru. `I just don't understand. Why would he not come and find me if he wanted to kill me. Maybe he doesn't want to kill me, but why would he act like he did today after class. I probably just pushed his temper too far. There probably aren't too many people that would and I got to him today.' She flipped the T.V to another station and looked blankly at it, still pondering with herself. `Maybe I should give him a chance, he may have changed a little since back then, maybe he isn't as egotistical as he was.'

 

“Pffft! Yeah right Kagome; you saw how he acted today. He is the same as he was then, just as arrogant, mean, nasty, gorgeous, hateful…wait! Gorgeous, where did that come from, he isn't, well, I guess I can't deny it. He is the epitome of the male species, or would that be the demon male species.” Kagome let that thought roll around in her head as she envisioned Sesshomaru prancing around like other guys she had known and laughed to herself. `Oh yeah, I could see him doing that, Not!' Kagome laughed again, this time out loud, and decided it was time for her to go to bed. `If I'm conjuring up images of Sesshomaru I must be getting sleepy. I'll just have to see how tomorrow goes. Kagome wondered into her bedroom and flopped on the bed, falling soundly asleep in moments.

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

Across town Sesshomaru was pondering almost the same thoughts as Kagome. Why had he attacked her so? His blood boiled just thinking about her standing in his classroom, foot ground into the floor, eyes flaming, and hair whipping around her by an unknown source.

 

“God she's beautiful when she's angry.”

 

He sighed and stopped his train of thoughts before they fell into the gutter. He had tried to stay away, but then she had to show up and mess everything up. `How can I resist her now? While I sit at my desk she sits at hers, wondering if I'm going to kill her or just teach her history.' Sesshomaru took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Maybe I should just tell her the truth. Tell her why I have been avoiding her. With his mind made up, Sesshomaru decided to sleep a little, not that he really needed it. `Tomorrow, tomorrow I will tell her everything. Maybe she will give me a chance and we can set things right.' He drifted off to sleep thinking of Kagome and the way she would point her arrow at him while defending Inuyahsa and her friends. He fell into happier dreams of his past when he ruled the Western Territory and the sweet angelic face of his daughter, Rin. He fell asleep alone.
